Are you sure the battery has enough juice (13.5volts)? Is the engine locked up? Try turning the motor by hand. If the engine is not seized, take the starter off and bench test it. Recheck your negative battery cable, a very good chance your problem lies there.
The same thing happened to my 1995 full size bronco today. I took the battery cables off cleaned each one, and still the same problem. I replaced the starter, solenoid, finally noticed my ground wire from my intake to the fire wall was charred. So I checked my lower battery cable connections and my ground was not connected. I replaced my firewall ground and replaced my battery ground wire and all my problems were solved. Even my dash readings were fixed, I always had crazy readings on my dash (temp, oil pressure and amp gauge) all were fixed with the installation of my new ground wires.

99 Sebring good alternator and battery that sometimes acts like it has a dead battery you hook jumpers to terminals starts right up and will do it the rest of the day can a this be your solenoid?
It could be poor battery connections, the starter,

You should locate and test the solenoid. Most have three connections. There is a large cable from the battery to the solenoid, from the solenoid to the starter and from the start switch to the solenoid. The power terminals to the battery and the starter are large and have large cables. The starter switch connection is much smaller. Turning the key to 'start' provides a low current voltage to the solenoid causing the solenoid relay to close and power from the battery cable to connect through to the starter. If that voltage is present then the solenoid or the wiring between the solenoid and battery or solenoid and starter is suspect. If that voltage is missing then the starter switch or solenoid feed line may have failed.
Is the charging wire from the alternator to starter solenoid on a 92 Pont Transport one single 8 ga wire or does it split off to something else also?
This wire is connected to the solenoid along with a wire going to the power distribution system (Fuse box), but the connection or split is after the fusible link on the wire comming from the alternator. On most vehicles, those connections are attached to the same solenoid bolt. The connection there at the bolt, is done there because the large Positive battery cable also comes to that bolt.
New starter and solenoid and the solenoid just clicks?
The problem can be that the battery terminals are not tight enough or that the battery cables are worn out. A starter needs really tight contact to the battery in order to supply enough current to the solenoid and starter -- merely touching the terminals won't be enough.
The starter battery and alternator have been tested but now car won't start How do I know if I need to replace the solenoid or the oxygen sensor on a 1991 cadillac deville and how is this done?
The O2 (Oxygen Sensor) has nothing to do with the engine not starting. If it will not start you either have no spark or no fuel. If the engine will not turn over, it is either the starter, battery, connections, ignition switch, or starter solenoid. Some starters have the solenoid built into the starter. Test the battery, and all connections. Remove the starter and have it tested at any auto parts store.

What if battery terminals are cleaned and key ignition still makes a clicking sound?
Battery is dead or you have a bad solenoid. Connections at the solenoid and/or starter could be loose or corroded.
19hp kohler engine on your ryobi riding mower just clicks when trying to start?
Look for loose connections at the battery, starter solenoid, starter and switch. If all connections are good, the starter solenoid probably needs to be replaced.
Some times the starter solenoid will start and some times it will not does it need to be replaced?
Many times its corroded battery terminals, Pop off and clean it. Make sure the battery terminals are tight. Check for loose connections on black wire to frame and the connection to the starter. Have the battery tested as it may be getting weak (free at most part stores). If the above fails, replace it. Normally the solenoid is part of the starter and not sold separately.
My alternator is not getting power from the battery The wiring from the battery to the solenoid and from the solenoid to the alternator is good is this a bad solenoid the car will start and run?
Check for a bad fusable link at alternator
What could cause a 1980 Ford Mustang 4.2L to not start even after the starter alternator and solenoid was replaced?
Try an ignition switch.
Your F150 will not start and will not take a jump the alternator solenoid and battery were replaced is it most likely the starter?
Starter Ignition Neutral switch
Why would a Ford F-150 not start and all you get is a clicking noise when you turn the key?
It could be solenoid, starter, battery, alternator not CHARGING the battery or corroded battery terminals.
You get a click when you try to start your 1985 Chrysler The battery is good and it will start right up when you get under the car and jump the solonoid connections with a screwdriver Is the solenoid?
solenoid is bad ,have it replaced,but check for remote solenoid first some vehicles have another solenoid mounted closer to battery

Why would the amp light be on after changing the alternator battery and solenoid on a 1990 Ford Tempo?
I have the exact same pproblem with a 1988 tempo, replaced the alternator and battery, still the alternator only reads 5 volts when running. Can't figure it out, do you know of any websites that would have a diagram of the alternator for a tempo?
Battery keeps dying on 1990 ford bronco replaced battery and alternator what could it be?
battery hooked up backward, wires crossed somewhere or it could be the solenoid.
